im not sure when my basement floor was painted, but it’s peeling up. It’s not something I would do.

never had luck with paint but last summer I got wood stain spilled some and loved it.i did my whole concrete front porch and stairs.still there even through the winter snow

After the carpet is removed, you'll likely be left with concrete with some extra dribbles and drops of hardened concrete, plus you'll need to need the tacking strips from all around the perimeter of the room where the carpet was attached and stretched. Thousands of nails and staples to deal with. After getting it thoroughly cleaned and the chunkies removed, you'll need to use some type of sealer like Kilz or Zinsser as a base. This can be rolled on with a paint roller and brushed on near the wall. There a stencils available to use to make the painted surface look like large Italian tiles or whatever design you choose. Just realize it is a painted service and so is not as durable as tile. When moving furniture, it will easily unless you protect it with sliders or soft cloth beneath what you are moving. I painted a very old basement concrete floor with wall paint before I sold a home and it really lightened and cleaned up the dreary area, but I doubt that it has held up well if the area is used constantly. Maybe talk with one of the staff at Home Depot or Lowes to see what they recommend you use. They probably hear from customers what has worked well and what has not. Good luck! You can customize it to exactly what you envision.

All paint on concreate will fail over time. It dedpends where the floor is and what the use of the space is. Both hOME dEPO AND lOWES CARY PRODUCtS THAT SEEM TO HOLD UP WELL TO RESIDENTAL USE. Look into concrete stain.

Here's a website I happened onto. Maybe it will help with your paint research!
